Abstract
A liquid ejecting head is adapted to eject liquid toward a target medium. A guide shaft extends in a first direction. A carriage reciprocately carries the liquid ejecting head in the first direction while being guided by the guide shaft. A moment generator is disposed between the carriage and the guide shaft at a position shifted from a centrium of the carriage in the first direction. The moment generator exerts a force directed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, thereby generating a first rotation moment in the carriage.
